Were you a Whizz Kid or a Chip-ite?

Or does the whole question leave you curiously uninvolved?

I have better comics questions, but they take too long to write.

Daddy.

No! I mean, chips!!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i like chips, with salt, vinegar and Tommy K. mmmm!

How about each week an ILM-only poster posts to ILE and viceversa...

I was more a Krazy comic (and latterly Cheeky Weekly)

I was a Whizz-Kid. When I was in primary school, my friend Ian Morris was a Chip-ite. He's the only Chip-ite I ever met, everyone else I knew was a Whizz-Kid. Come on, Sid had a SNAKE and how rubbish was Shiner (a boy who always gets a black eye - possibly most flimsy concept upon which to base a character ever)

I did always like Sammy Shrink and Junior Rotter though but Joker, Bumpkin Billionaires, Sweet Tooth, Odd Ball and Toy Boy were all much cooler.

Just salt for me thanks, but a little bit of the old red sauce if it's offered. TASTY GOOD.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was a Chip-ite, my sister was a Whizz-kid: Junior Rotter swung it for me, he was prototype Bart...

Chips should come with proper vinegar (don't you go putting any of that onion vinegar on 'em Grocott, it's sick), salt and a choice of red sauce or mayonnaise.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and preferably with a nice bit of haddock.

i only had the Whizzer and Chips annuals, and am unable to remember who was in which. why were the annuals published in one volume? i presume they were published by same company, but...?

― m jemmeson, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mayonnaise.... VOMFEST!!!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Incidentally down the booZoR last night we came up with the new diet treatment that reconciles the world of Eating Disorders with Just Diet Fads and came up with VOMFAST. Woohoo!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

comic talk be damned! this thread has been hijacked by the CHIP EATERS mmmmm *drool* onion vinegar is FINE ricky t, you know not what you say!

― katie, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Vinegar will defintely be included in VOMFAST as will mayonnaise the spunk of the devil urrrgh.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

INFIDEL DOGS! Mayonnaise = sauce of gods. Onion vinegar = sauce of Satan's little wizards(especially when gulped straight from the pickled onion jar).

The annuals were only in one volume because that's how the comic was. There was two sections, Chips was a comic within a comic (BECAUSE NO-ONE WOULD BUY IT UNLESS IT WAS HIDDEN INSIDE WHIZZER). I think, though am not sure, that a long time ago, they were two separate comics but merged together although without merging very much.

Don't you like the way there are two completely separate threads going on here (a thread within a thread - like Chips)

― jamesmichaelward, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mmm, chips, cheese and beans, please.

Oh. Uh. I wasn't allowed to buy Whizzer/Chips because my parents deemed them too ROUGH and UNCOUTH, hullo clouds hullo sky ect ect chiz. So I had to read the Dandy instead. Sigh. Except when I was in the dentist's waiting room, where they had a big pile of loads of different comics. Yay. And free stickers. But also the threat of being told not to eat sweets, eek.

― Rebecca, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I read Bunty.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's read (red), not read (reed). Just in case you were wondering.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I read (past tense) Bunty too. My sister got it when I first started getting Eagle and Four Marys were better than Doomlord. I still always fall for (mostly ex) public schoolgirls, maybe that's why.

― chris, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

By the way, best Eagle story ever was House of Daemon: really scary horror stuff, much more chilling than The Collector.

― chris, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

best thing to have on chips = CHIPPY SOSS. however as this seems only available within the environs of Embra (can't even get it in glasgae) i don't get it as often as i would like...

OINK! was clearly the best of the IPC comics (and i think my mother has just thrown away my nearly complete collection), all of which pished all over anything produced by dc thompson (jocks and geordies, MY ARSE)

― carsmilesteve, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oink were grate.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

UNCLE PIGG!

― Tom, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am a cheez-Whizz Kid.

― cheezwhizz, Saturday, 20 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Chip-ite. Whizzkids were squares. of course this was only up until Oink! started up which pulled the whole thing apart AND had Marc Riley from the Fall cartooning.
